Pets

Idaho lawmakers are showing little love for their furriest constituents in the final days of the legislative session. A proposal that would have created a "pet friendly" specialty license plate died on the House floor Monday after a series of narrow votes.

The Elmore County Sheriff says several dogs found recently died of "blunt force trauma" near Mountain Home. The sheriff's office says it began an investigation after a total of four dogs had been found near the railroad tracks.
